A Night with the Creator
Thu Nov 27, 2008 at 12:18:40 PM EST
Last night was a night like any other. Or so I thought...
It is Wednesday night. Normally not a night for much gaming.
But this is Thanksgiving Eve. Gaming with the sweet knowledge that there will be no alarm clocks to disturb the next day.
I get online and see that Blankman and company are in a private room.
Full. damn!
So, I play some campaign (I'm up to Act 5 chapt 3), yes I'm probably the last Gearhead who hasn't finished.
Then after about an hour, I get an invite.
In the room is Blank of course, Hydro, Infidel, Hanzo, Cable, Wonka, and
Razor Hanzo.
The other two guests were people that I didn't know.
Chantaljoy and CliffyBisTHEMAN.
I'm thinking, okay... Whose friends are these?
The room has just been re-opened and a couple of us got in at the same time. We were talking "Who has a GT saying CliffyBisTHEMAN?!". Some sort of rabid fan out there or something.
We started the game and Blankman was on my team. Chantal and the "Cliff lover" were on the other team.
When were were just our team of five, Blankman says...
"Yeah guys, That is the Real Cliff."
"What?!!"
"Yeah, that is Chantal, his girlfriend too".
"SWEET!!"
Sure enough, I'm listening to him and Chantal talk during the match. It is.
Talk about a fun night!
Everyone got a piece or two of Cliff.
Chantal was very nice. Funny, sweet and did most of the talking for both of them. I think someone said they had a few Martini's or something because Cliff was pretty quiet the whole night.
There was no "Hey, I am God or something..."
But nonetheless, we were playing with the Creator. Not THE Creator, but the man that we all love just because of his imagination and sheer will power to make it happen for him (and for us for that matter).
A couple times during the night some guys were sayings things like "Man, I Hate Jacinto!, It's a morter fest".
I'm thinking "You just insulted his game!" lol.
He didn't care and neither did we. We were just having fun!
It was a kind of night that was just laid back, but bringing the Pain in the Game.
Infidel and Hypnos were the demi-gods of the night. They pretty much owned everyone.
Well, except Blankman of course.
There was a stretch there where Hypnos was killing Cliff and Chantal every round for a whole match. Too funny. No one was frustrated or showing off.
In fact... I think Chantal has a mini crush on Hypnos. One of the guys sent Chantal a Friend request, while professing "I love you".
After about an hour, They left.
We kept playing. It was about 1am and few of the guys went to bed.
We had 6 guys I think. Then, guess what? They came back. They brought Chantal's cousin(Who I might add... has one of the greatest gt's ever... Thee Jack Bauer. Some said "Jack Bauer for President!"
We kept playing and Robbins joined for our Tenth.
Another hour of Classic moments!
Mine are... Other than just being a part of the room (Thanks to Blankman).
Were in this order.
First kill in Cliff. Torque Bow to the Chest (+174 points) Yes, I remember the points!
Then one kill on Jacinto. He was lancering me while I picked up the Hammer. I bring down Fire from Heaven (Goodbye Cliff!), but alas, I was too close to him and we vaporized together. Lol!!
Very cool night.
What about your stories?! I want to hear yours!
